Biography
William was born in 1780. He was the son of Joseph Dunn and Jane Long. He passed away in 1838.
There is no disagreements on the number of children, who they married or descendants. They disagree on a middle initial H. for Harrison and William's wife Lucy Runnels. It seems a William C. Dunn married a Lucy Runnels in Fayette co. KY on April 13, 1805. This same William died in Fayette Co. on 9 Jan 1833 at age 50. So, for the time being, I do not know who William's wife was. Before moving to Illinois, William was in Livingston County, Kentucky between 1806 to 1816. A William Dunn also fought in the War of 1812 and is thought to be this William. He had four children. Rumina Matilda, Jesse, Martha, and Nancy.
